oh

I was just playing a multiplayer match and all of the sudden a pop up came and said "this console has been temperately banned from earning credits. I did nothing wrong! How long will it last, this the second time. What will happen if this keeps happening? Will it reset my rank? Can I undo it?

Good evening.

Looking through your Halo Reach Game History within the last month , of the 69 matchmaking games you played, you did not finish at least 14 of them, five of them having 0 kills. Having 0 kills once a game ends makes the automated banhammer thing that you were idling/AFKing, even if you left the game prematurely. Regardless, the Automated banhammer keeps track of your Incomplete/Idled/0 Kill games and once you hit a threshold, or quit a lot of games in a short duration, the banhammer will issue a type of ban…

So likely, you were temporarily cR banned due to quitting alot of games. You will just have to wait out your ban. Hope this helps and have a nice day now.

That’s weird I don’t recall quitting that much; a few times due to bad connection but I don’t remember anything besides that. But why wait so long to give a ban if that was the case? I was doing nothing wrong on the day of the ban. And I never have been AFK in any games I’ve played except maybe in a few custom games, does being AFK in a custom game count? I just looked and checked my game history and I have not quitted any of those firefight games, why does it say I did? I am very confused now.

I think Reach is starting to get buggy from either people doing things they shouldn’t be doing in matchmaking (Modding, lagswitching, etc), a bad internet connection, or simply the fact the game is old. Why it said you did not finish 14 games if you didn’t is beyond me. Perhaps Reach is having issues logging finalized games or is finalizing a game score logging prematurely, which could be causing said issue.

As for AFK ordeal, what I explained is the Banhammer treats 0 kills in any matchmaking game, completed or not, as a game a player was AFK and will be treated as a DNF due to it. So if you finish a matchmaking games with 0 kills, the Banhammer will treat that game as if you AFKed. Custom games is different. You can leave, join, AFK, etc in a custom game without worry as that will not count against you in a custom game.

As for Firefight games, I didn’t look at those, I looked at your other matchmaking games, such as team slayer, Slayer, Infection, King of the Hill, etc. if that helps and that is the results it gave me.

As for the delayed ban, Reach and Halo 4 have been known to do that as the Banhammer for some odd reason sometimes needs time to catch up on the logged games. Halo 5’s however (Dedicated servers or better code perhaps?) does not from what I understand.

Well I don’t do any modding or lagswitching, and I always get a few kills at least. 8-10 being the bare minimum. Any idea how long the man will last? I got it on the day I first posted and it is the second ban I got.

It just does not make any sense. In case you didn’t already know, I am talking about Halo Reach.

I am not saying that I hate Bungie, but they could have done better.

I have been ranked Private for too long. I have been doing very well in Heroic Firefight.

You probably want to stop posting so much, it is considered spamming and is against the rules and could result in a ban from the waypoint if you don’t stop. And about the Reach banning, it seems to just be messed up from what I’ve seen. You will just have to wait it out and I know how horrible leveling can be, made it to max and was reset so I’ve done all this twice now and made it to Noble again (5 from max out of 50).

Give me blue flaming.

Please i have been waiting for years I was too young at the time. Please give it too me. It would certainly mean a lot.

I feel your pain, I wish I had the Blue Flaming Helmet but it is too late and there is no way to get it now. Oh and this really isn’t the right place for this post. I believe it would belong somewhere in the Halo: Reach fourms due to this not being related to getting bans but it won’t help you get it unfortunately.
